Umpires: Grievances (protesting games) can only be filed on rule interpretations. Paul Knotts is rotating umpires schedules in hopes of controlling the speed of games.
Players cannot discuss any plays. Only the manager or designated manager can discuss a play. This is a reminder of an existing rule.

Board of Directors and League Directors elections:
Any CSSA members wishing to be a candidate for the 2015-2016 season as a Board member or League Director should submit their names to any board member by the end of September 2015. Elections will be held in October 2015.

Also discussion took place on the possibility of having wine and beer available.
Ron O’Donnell was given permission to secure entertainment for the banquet.
Motion was made, discussed and approved to allocate $250.00 for entertainment.

Arnold Fowler and Lowell Lawson nominations are also being accepted. All nominations must be accompanied with a paragraph, stating nominees qualifications. Send Arnold Fowler nominations to Glenn Peacock peacock7850@yahoo.com. Nominations will be accepted up to 30 September, 2015

Future Topics: Because of the increase in softballs, uniforms and other costs it is proposed that the CSSA consider raising player fees and sponsor fees for the upcoming Spring 2016 season and beyond. $55.00 for a 12 game season and $50.00 for a ten game season was discussed. This topic will be addressed at future meetings.
